Advanced Diagnostics

At Smart Dry Eyes, we use advanced technology to diagnose and understand your dry eye condition. Our tools enable us to tailor treatments to your specific needs. 

Various forms of dry eye disease exist, and evaluating tear film parameters is essential for accurate diagnosis.

NIBUT is a diagnostic parameter used to evaluate the stability of the tear film on the surface of the eye without the need for dyes or invasive techniques. It measures how long the tear film remains intact before breaking up after a blink.

Tear meniscus height measures the thickness of the crescent-shaped tear film layer at the eyelid margin and ocular surface. This measurement is vital for assessing tear film quantity, acting as a reservoir and aiding in tear distribution during blinking.

Tear film lipid layer measurements indicate meibomian gland function, often impaired in evaporative dry eye disease. The lipid layer minimizes tear evaporation, which is frequently compromised in dry eyes.

Eye redness reveals ocular surface health, inflammation, and condition severity. It suggests chronic irritation from unstable or insufficient tears, leading to conjunctiva and sclera inflammation. 

Meibomian gland imaging is a diagnostic method that enables visualization and evaluation of the glands' structure, function, and health, which is crucial for producing the lipid layer in the tear film. This assessment provides important insights into Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.
